Plot Summary:
Welcome to As the Keyblade Strikes, a Sailor Moon/Kingdom Hearts crossover RPG!

An unknown Darkness has come and has been slowly consuming worlds across the universe. Along with the impending Darkness come the Heartless, shadowy creatures from an unknown dimension that do the Darkness's bidding. Their goal is to find the Ten Pure of Heart and use their hearts to open the Final Door to Kingdom Hearts, which will enable Darkness to take over all the universe.

Four of the Ten have already been captured: Princess Setsuna of the Caverns of Charon; Princess Michiru of Triton's Bay; Princess Haruka of Miranda, the Winged Isle; and Princess Hotaru of the Sleeping Wastes.

As for the remaining Six Pure of Heart, they've been having strange dreams. A voice has been calling them in their dreams, telling them to choose. In a hallowed room, before each dreamer are a Shield, Sword, and Rod. They are left to choose which they will be: a warrior, guardian, or mystic.

“As the weapon of the warrior, the Dream Sword focuses on strength and avoids defense, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their offensive abilities at lower levels.”

“As the weapon of the guardian, the Dream Shield focuses on defense and avoids strength, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their defensive abilities at lower levels.”

“As the weapon of the mystic, the Dream Rod focuses on MP and avoids AP, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their magical abilities at lower levels.”

The Six each make their choices:
– Rei, Makoto, and Minako choose to be Warriors
– Ami and Mamoru choose to be Guardians
– Usagi chooses to be a Mystic

The day after their dreams, large dark clouds come over their homeworlds and a terrible storm strikes during the night. The Six awake and find their homes flooded with Heartless. Weaponless, they have no choice but to flee. They each find a portal and the voice they had heard in their dreams urges them to go through.

We join our heroes as they awaken in a foreign world called Traverse Town.

Details on any necessary information:
→ We will be using these amazing character & weapon designs by Nijuukoo/Erin Wong. We have asked and received permission to use them.

→ Worlds that are canon to Kingdom Hearts include: Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion, and End of the World.

→ Original Worlds include:
– Mariner's Landing, the world from which Ami hails from. It is primarily comprised of water with a large island at its center. The island is encased in fog and rain more often than not. Mariner Castle rests on the shoreline and is made of glittering azure stone.
– Aphrodite's Ascent, this mountainous world is the home of Minako. Magellan Castle is boasted to be one of the most beautiful castles ever built and sits at the precipice of the tallest mountain of its world.
– Silver Millennium, this small world of alabaster and crystal is Usagi’s homeworld. Outside of the beautiful kingdom, known as the Moon Kingdom, there is little to see on this world.
– Golden Elysion, the world in which Mamoru hails from. It is lush and green, with a golden palace encircled by a decorative rose garden (think like a miniature Versailles).
– Temple of Flames, this is a world of warriors, shrines, and sacred fire and is the world from which Rei comes. The two sacred shrines, Phobos and Deimos, sit prominently side by side.
– Jove's Stand, this thickly forested world is the home of Makoto. Only the twin towers of Io Castle, known as Astrapios (“lightninger”) and Brontios (“thunderer”), can be seen above the tall treeline.
– The Sleeping Wastes, looms before the growing Darkness. It is a ruinous planet that whispers of a once great kingdom. The remnants of Titan Castle, formerly a grand citadel, looks hauntingly beautiful in its ruin.
– Miranda, the Winged Isle, is a world that roams freely through space. It has no fixed location and can randomly appear anywhere. (Reminiscent to Monstro’s ability in Kingdom Hearts.)

→ Special Worlds include:
– Makaiju, a strange, stony world with a large alien tree rising from the craggy, dry ground. The tree's roots are vast and crawl over the landscape.
– Marzipan Castle, a world covered in clouds with a large, round castle floating in the clouds.
– Galactica Palace, sparse world with a large, gothic-styled castle standing proudly alone on its land. A crystal, known as the Garden Crystal, rests between its tallest spires.

Universe Need-to-Know Info:
→ The weapons of choice in this universe are called Keyblades wielded by their owners. There are a variety of Keyblades that hail from different worlds, but in this RP each character will keep their original Keyblades. List of Keyblades, which includes stats and effects.
→ There are monsters roaming around called Heartless. Their sizes and abilities vary. Here is a complete list of Heartless within the Kingdom Hearts universe.

This is a super interesting and really cool premise, and I would love to snag Rei, if that'd be okay?

@Sailor Saturn certainly!

I just wanted to say that I love this RP idea <3. Not ready to jump in though sadly... Still haven't made any profiles yet.

no rush..do it when your comfortable

@Diagnosed Relaxed profiles are pretty easy! And I'd be willing to help in any way I can! Including tempting you to join <3

@Dark Sportsnutd @Sailor Saturn As our storyline has been approved, should I get the RP thread up? Also, Sailor Saturn, do you have a character profile you'd like to use for Rei? I'll get the profile links all set up!

I have this Rei profile! I'll be putting in any additional information and changes to her character in the Storyline Specific Information section once I get those settled and figured out!

i think we could put the rp thread up

OK, the RP thread has been created! Link!

Here's something I hadn't considered... In regards to magic, do you think all the characters should be able to use all the types of spells (like in KH) or do we want our characters to specialize in certain types (e.g., Ami in Blizzard, Rei in Fire, Makoto in Thunder, Usagi in Cure/Esuna/Light)? The only issue would be that there isn't magic that really aligns with Minako's element... (I think Mamoru would probably use a spell like Barrier to help protect himself/others close by.)

I'm thinking it would be easier if everyone had access to all the spells, but maybe favor some over the others? I really don't know. I'd appreciate your input! ^^

I already have a Makoto profile approved for relaxed profiles. Can I join in on this? It sounds fantastic. And Kingdom Hearts is amazing!

Certainly @Starchild! Happy to have you join us! XD

Awesoeme! Just waiting on the profile okay for the storyline.
I love the idea of them each favoring one magical attack. Makoto and Thunder are ready to roll. XD

I think them favoring one or two spells over the rest would make the most sense. It won't prevent them from learning the others either, so... I guess make it so they all have the ability to learn all the spells, but they just favor certain ones. Does that sound good to everyone? ^^

Sounds good to me! I think Makoto would prefer Thunder and maybe Gravity or Magnet.
Also, what about Abilities, are we including those? Like Magic Spice and the like?

I was thinking about that, yes. They'd probably gain those later on. Also remember that they're all likely to learn magic at different rates. Usagi will learn spells the fastest, then the Warriors, and then the Guardians.

yay! welcome Starchild

@Dark Sportsnutd @Sailor Saturn @Starchild

I think I'm going to add Luna and Artemis as NPCs because the girls (and Mamoru) are going to need some guidance on what to do. They're going to be working for "the voice" that everyone heard in their dreams (technically, the voice is kind of like Guardian Cosmos). ANYWAY... Sound good to you peeps? ^^

That sounds good to me!! <3 I'll be working on my storyline update for Rei tonight, and was wondering how much you've planned out the worlds that everyone comes from, or if it's okay to kind of expand a little on the description you've given in the first post? xD I imagine I'll mention some details in my first post, and wouldn't want to mess up any of the details you might have in mind for the worlds!

Also, I like the idea of the girls specializing in specific magic, while still having access to the others. Maybe we could have weaknesses as well to balance it out? Like for instance, Rei is really good with fire spells, but terrible with water? That sort of idea. (For Minako, she could have wind perhaps, or gravity? Or she could be a jack-of-all-trades! Where she has no weaknesses with any magic, but no strengths either. I always think of Minako as being a super agile and versatile fighter, so any magic repertoire that allows her to change up tactics on the fly would work within theme, in my opinion xD! )

@Sailor Saturn yes, I think the girls being particularly strong with one or two types of magic and having weaknesses to other types is a good idea. I also like the idea of Minako being more balanced in her abilities than the others. (Maybe Mamoru should be the same way?) Also, you're more than welcome to take creative liberties with Rei's homeworld. I was just trying to create a base idea for everyone, so they have stuff to build off of.

In regards to Rei's profile, check out Usagi's profile to see what Sailor Neptune is looking for in regards to this specific SSI. Hopefully I can save you the hassle, which I wasn't able to save the others from. ^^;

Minako reporting for duty! ;D

super awesome news Mercury

@Sailor Mercury bwuahaha! Welcome to the dark side? ^^;

don't forget about this please guys

Is this still going on? I would gladly take Mamoru.

Yes it is Luna. and you may take him. We just need a replacement for Meganekko till she can RP again...

I'm happy that this is back! I'll absolutely continue as Minako!

@Sailor Mercury Noted!

@Sailor Saturn is keeping Rei, and @Sportsnutd and I will be keeping Ami and Usagi respectively.

So now we only need Makoto and Mamoru!

Yuuuush! <3 <3 Let's do this

:> i may want to pick up Mamoru~
